Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is undergoing electroconvulsive therapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse perform?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Check the client's condition after the procedure. After electroconvulsive therapy, the nurse should closely monitor the client for any adverse effects such as confusion, disorientation, or physical injuries. This is crucial in ensuring the client's safety and well-being post-treatment.
A: Assisting the client to ambulate may not be safe immediately after the procedure due to potential disorientation or weakness.
C: Atropine is not typically given before electroconvulsive therapy; its use would not be appropriate in this context.
D: Witnessing the client's signature on the consent form is important but is not a direct action related to the client's immediate post-procedure care.
